As far as I know the VESA specs apply to the distance between mounting holes, depth of mounting holes, and the weight that the mount will hold. I wouldn't recommend a VESA mount for a non-VESA spec tv, if there was any damage to the TV I think you would be out of luck with the warranty.

I don't understand why all manufacturers do not adhere to this spec... other than the the fact that they would like to sell you their overpriced mount.

Sorry, I haven't been much help, a post on AVS may be of more benefit, good luck.

Ken, I was speaking more in reference to the need for a TV to be vesa compliant with respect to wall mounts etc., as my edited post now shows and I stil think many with a 58" and up would be more afraid of them crashng to the ground in a home environment. I know I would be after seeing my 'little' 40" LCD wall mounted and the strain the backing cover is taking from the mounting holes.

Thanks for the input regarding the wall mount guys. I was up today and I have a couple more questions if you could help me out please.

My mom was switching DVDs players for me this afternoon, and she accidentally unplugged my satellite receiver and as soon as it came unplugged, everything (my receiver and TV) that was plugged into the same power bar shut down and the power bar turned off. We plugged the satellite receiver into a different power bar, and turned the power bar back on, and everything is now up and running okay. Any idea what caused this?

Also, I was going through the Denon GUI for literally 2-3 minutes, and there is a very faint image of it continually on my screen. This is the second time that this has happened from using the GUI for a couple minutes. I don't imagine that this is normal. Could there be something wrong with my plasma screen?

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again
